The best way to try to wean off the real ciggies is to vape at around 18mg to start with, if you are/were a heavy smoker you might want to start at 24mg juice/e-liquid. I started at 24 and a year later i'm mostly 12mg with some 18 still. Your brain will still be craving that higher level of nicotine that's in ciggies, even if you smoke lights.
Some people stay at their starter level and are perfectly happy. I went down, but i find that i vape a LOT more at 12mg than i do at 18mg. I still have some 24 in case i'm having a really hardcore craving.
I've talked to my Drs about vaping and both my primary doc and my shrink agree that nicotine is showing, in tests, to help neurorecepters to absorb the chemicals they're trying to recieve. My shrink (and this is just mine, no medical advice here!) said that it's OK to vape at whatever level im comfortable at because nicotine itself is not harmful to the body (unless you drink it or rub it on like lotion, lol) and that the smartest thing is finding your proper level of nicotine so that you aren't getting too little or too much - too little - jonesing, too much - jittery, lol!
There are some good, inexpensive sites for juice, which may help if you decide to start higher and work down. You can always find someone to give leftover juice to or trade to them for something. The ecig forums (nu-vapor and electronic cigarette forum being the 2 biggest) are a fabulous place to not only learn, but to find and trade items!
GL with putting down the ciggies for good - you'll get there and your body will tell you pretty fast how happy it is. You've probably already gotten idea of it from vaping instead of smoking part of the time, already
